Quote
The act of being screwed by an online merchant, specifically due to the merchant being incompetent and amateurish. Derived from the debacle of the mtgox.com Bitcoin trading site's crash and burn and the resulting chaos trying to re-open. Poor communication, outright lies, scapegoats, Oh My!

Dude, you've been goxxed.

Clearly, they got it right back in 2011. Now, just in off chance they do rebrand themselves as "Gox" never forget the meaning of Goxxed.

Even though this critique sould be aimed at Jed McCaleb, founder of mtgox, creator of eDonkey, inventor of ripple, and now co-founder of the mysterious bitcoin project. He was mtgox on the forum. Karpeles is Magical Tux.
That week, the total sales of Bitcoin were $215. Hardly crying for maximum security.

It's been on the wall since 2011 apparently. I could never even understand why people even sent money there in the first place as it has always taken weeks and months to get verified or withdraw money etc.

I would imagine changing the working title of the project would be at the top of any potential acquirer's list of conditions.
